texdoc is fine when the exact file name is known, which would imply a
familiarisation with what is available. Who would guess that `texdoc
user' is what you need to read documentation about the babel package?
Exploring tex's range of documentation is made more convenient with
texdoctk. It is available on Debian but does require X.

Re: Lyx package recommends sgml-tools, but...
The tutorial included with Lyx is about the best beginning reference I've found. Check out CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) at www.ctan.org. Leslie Lamport's book(s) on TeX/LaTeX are good.

Re: sgml-tools, LinuxDoc, and customization
Hello, Thanks for all of the replies. Last I check out the LDP ( about a week ago ) they said that all HOWTO's still needed to be in LinuxDoc format instead of DocBook. I have not found any information about customizing LinuxDoc though I have found plenty about DocBook. My intention now is to dust off my small amount of sed knowledge and write a sed script that will alter what I need altered. later, joseph -- the LaterDude ICQ: 52640402 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ice-works.com/personal/LaterDude/ All opinions expressed are my own and not necessarily those of my employer unless otherwise noted.

$ man sgml2latex
SGML2LATEX(1) SGML2LATEX(1)
NAME
sgml2latex - create plain text output from a SGML source
file
SYNOPSIS
sgml2latex [-2e] [-aCdglps] [-style s ] [-t n ]
]
file[.sgml]
DESCRIPTION
sgml2latex converts a SGML source file to LaTeX output,
using the sgmls(1) parser, and the sgmlsasp(1) translator.
Using the LaTeX output, and the latex(1) text formatter,
you can then create DVI output, and PostScript output
using the dvips(1) converter. Output will appear in
file.tex for LaTeX output, file.dvi for DVI output, or
file.ps for PostScript output, where file is the name of
the SGML source file.
OPTIONS
-2eUses LaTeX2e instead of LaTeX 2.09
-a Uses DIN A4 page layout, default US letter
-C Single chapter
-d Creates DVI output instead of LaTeX
-l Allows use of latin1 (ISO-8859-1) characters in the
SGML source file, default ASCII only
-g Uses german.sty
-p Creates PostScript output instead of LaTeX
-s Saves all LaTeX temporary files

I need to use linuxdoc to write some help files, but the sgml2lyx isn't working. I get an error stating linuxdoc.dtd is missing but is is exactly where the script is looking for it. The perlsgml package is broken since the version in bo depends on perl-base and not perl. The version in unstable was corected to depend on perl or perl-base but the file is missing or named completely off the package name. From both directories now. There are files named psgml in both directories. Are the psgml files what I need and will this fix the sgml2lyx problem? If not, what's the deal with sgml2lyx?

sgml-tools cannot produce html
I cannot produce html files with sgml2html (even example.sgml and guide.sgml). Apparently, other kinds of output work fine. I suppose the problem is in sgml-tools (I use version 0.99.7-1) It says : Processing file example.sgml /usr/bin/sgmlsasp: /usr/lib/sgml-tools/rep/html/mapping:326: bad input character `\' and stops. The lines causing problems are table + CENTERTABLE BORDERTRTD\n + /table+ /TD/TR/TABLE/CENTER\n + tabular + BR\n+ /tabular + \n+ When I remove them (I have to remove them, because just commenting them out doesn't work), there's no complain any more, but sgmlsasp fills the memory and nothing else happens.
